vow
Lord, I am not my own, no longer my own,
Living now for You, and everything I think
All I say and do is for You, my Lord.
Now, taking up the cross, walking on Your paths,
Holding out Your truth running in this race,
Bowing every day, all for You, my Lord.
And what I have vowed I will make good.
Every promise made will be fulfilled
'Till the day I die, every day I live
Is for You, is for You, is for You,
Is for You, is for You, is for You,
Earth has nothing I desire that lives outside of You,
I'm consumed with You. Treasures have no hold,
Nothing else will do, only You, my Lord.
These beautiful lyrics are written by Matt Redman.
I am just glad that we can give of ourselves to the Lord. And accepts in turn what He has given to us. I think, this is one of the steps home. Such mercy. Such grace. from the Father. Yet I don't think I am there yet... and I am unsure how much of these words - if they were to be a personal vow - can I really fulfill in reality.
I think at this juncture, by the grace of God, I can only acknowledge I am not my own but belongs to Him. And that I will take up the Cross and walk with Him. I think that's only about it - at this point. I believe that there is still a whole lot of junk to be cleared out of my head and heart to make more room for Him. So please help me Lord.
A friend who inspired me said, her day - she feels is good - if she could express love though expressing kindness to her husband and children. I have decided to accept this as an expression of "Taking up the Cross" as well because - I think it is not easy to be a wife, a mom, and work at the same time. Hats off to those who are able to do that - yes esp to you, my dear friends :) Yay!
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight O Lord.
